The Computational Sensing team at MERL is seeking motivated individuals to develop scalable optimal transport algorithms. Ideal candidates should be Ph.D. students with research experience in optimal transport and scalable optimal transport algorithms. Experience with GPU implementations is a plus. Publication of the results produced during our internships is expected. The duration of the internships is anticipated to be 3 months. Start date is flexible. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.

MERL is looking for a self-motivated intern to work on problems at the intersection of video understanding, audio processing, and language models. The ideal candidate would be a PhD student with a strong mathematical background in machine learning and computer vision. The candidate must have prior experience in using deep learning methods for image and video representations (such as using scene graphs) and deep audio analysis (such as source separation, localization, etc.). Proficiency in Python and flexibility in using different deep learning software (especially Pytorch) is expected. The intern is expected to collaborate with computer vision and speech teams at MERL to develop algorithms and prepare manuscripts for scientific publications. The internship is for 3 months with flexible start date. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.

The Computational Sensing team at MERL is seeking motivated and qualified individuals to develop algorithms that reconstruct a three dimensional distribution of a radioactive source when observed using a Compton camera. The project goal is to improve the performance and develop an uncertainty analysis of these algorithms. Ideal candidates should be Ph.D. students and have solid background and publication record in 3D Compton imaging. Experience in computational tomography, imaging inverse problems, and large-scale optimization is also preferred. Publication of the results produced during our internships is expected. The duration of the internships is anticipated to be 3-6 months. Start date is flexible. This internship is preferred to be onsite at MERL, but may be done remotely where you live if the COVID pandemic makes it necessary.
